Automating key compliance and documentation processes to support faster, more consistent model oversight.

PwC’s Model Edge already solves a foundational challenge for organizations managing enterprise AI models — centralizing governance, documentation, and oversight across the model lifecycle. As model portfolios expand, so does the volume of routine updates and workflow steps required to keep them current. The recent launch of agent mode makes Model Edge even more powerful: a new digital assistant that automates many of these day-to-day compliance and documentation actions, helping teams save an estimated 20–50% of their time each week while accelerating the pace of governance.

With Agent Mode, users can describe what they need, and the system takes action directly within Model Edge. The agent provides an interactive, context-aware experience, guiding users with smart prompts and suggestions. The documentation agent generates polished summaries, reports, and leadership-ready updates across common document, presentation, and spreadsheet formats - dramatically reducing manual effort. Agent output can then be directly exported or sent via email. 

Agent Mode is built on a flexible orchestration layer, designed to support a future library of agentic use cases—including direct record creation, task assignment, and issue management—laying the foundation for full workflow automation across the platform.

Behind the scenes, a secure orchestration engine interprets user intent, checks role-based permissions, and selects the appropriate large language model based on task complexity. This allows every action to be executed accurately, efficiently, and within governance guardrails.

For model risk leaders and their teams, the benefits are immediate:

  • An estimated 20–50% weekly time savings by automating repetitive administrative tasks

  • Shorter review and approval cycles, increasing responsiveness to business and regulatory needs

  • More time for expert-driven risk assessment, not workflow management

  • Higher-quality, consistent documentation that strengthens audit readiness 

  • Reduced operational burden, improving the scalability and economics of enterprise AI governance

Agent Mode represents a meaningful shift in how organizations govern their AI models. By automating the administrative steps that naturally accumulate in mature governance programs, it helps teams accelerate lifecycle activities while elevating the quality, consistency, and defensibility of oversight. Reach out to us to see how Model Edge can help your team streamline governance, accelerate compliance workflows, and free up time for the work that truly moves risk management forward.
